ok, got my new wheels - are off an Audi so presumed they needed boring
out. had a look yesterday and they have these centering rings fitted (green bit in pic) 
now, I think the bore behind them is big enough, but how do these rings come out? there is a metal ring holding it in place which I can't seem to shift, is it just a case of twatting it from the outside until it pops off? don't want to break it. If the bore of the wheel is more than the required should I get a set of the rings to fit snug over my hubs or will i get away without them? cheers |

hi monsho, thats a spiggot ring. it will come out with persuasion.it has a metal ring like a circlip holding it in. abit of lube incase or corrosion then give it a tap. perhaps have those rings machined to fit.

yeah, thought a tap should shift them, didn't want to bray it and knack the
lot... should be easy enough to have them whittled down... ta |

you dont have any scrodgers? theyre like screwdrivers, but used for scrodging instead of driving screws... ------------- YOU CANT EDUCATE GAMMON  http://www.tee3.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - http://www.tee3.co.uk/ |

ok, may be a fik northerner, but what is a scrodger, or scrodging - is the
person who does this a scrodgerer? |

its an implement for generally prying, twatting, or poking stuff. You know on snap on stuff it says "Not to be used as a pry bar or lever"? Well, snap on dont make scrodgers  Northern f**kers, they know nowt dunt they... ------------- YOU CANT EDUCATE GAMMON http://www.tee3.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - http://www.tee3.co.uk/ |
